Founder of Comme des Garçons and Dover Street Market, Rei Kawakubo (川久保 玲) is exploring brave new fashion. Avant-garde designs were created to challenge conventional thoughts for an upcoming exhibition.

The themed show displays around 140 pieces of Kawakubo’s womenswear collections from the 1980s to present day. The galleries demonstrate experimental ways to illustrate the space between boundaries. Rei Kawakubo continues to shape the face of global art and fashion with her work.

The Rei Kawakubo / Comme des Garçons: Art of The In-Between exhibition debuts on 04 May 2017 until 04 September 2017 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Sometimes I visit art galleries in the evening after work. Something always stands out. Today it was the painting seen below. Canadian painter and printmaker, Philip Guston uses abstract expressionism with cartoon vibes to create vibrant works. Most of the pieces highlight social realism. The exhibition, Philip Guston: Painter, 1957 – 1967 is on until 29 July 2016 at Hauser & Wirth in Chelsea, New York.

Obviously, admission varies in different countries. Then there can be a slight price difference if you’re a child, senior, student or adult. It can be hard though when you’re not sure which category you fall into for the concession.

Whether visiting a gallery or museum, the atmosphere is supposed to be relaxed and mesmerizing. I’ve noticed in capital cities during my travels, visitors complaining or not understanding how there is an admission free. Viewing art is a pleasure which should be open to all. While enjoying that experience, it shouldn’t be an effort. Moreover, art should be free.
